A Canadian men’s volleyball team that included a Langley player couldn’t get past the home team at the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Nations League tournament in Krakow, Poland recently.
The Canadian players fell to Poland in a 3-1 matchup (25-21, 26-24, 21-25, 25-17) May 27.
Although Canada’s men’s team managed a win over Poland last week in an international friendly series, they have yet to beat the number-three world ranked Polish team in 12 FIVB outings.
Poland went undefeated in this first weekend of Volleyball Nations League.
Canada beat Korea earlier in the week, but fell to Russia on Friday.
“Today, we played a better game than we did against Russia, winning one set,” said Canada’s head coach Stephane Antiga.
Among the players for Team Canada is Daniel Jansen Vandoorn, a middle blocker from Langley, and Steve Marshall, an outside hitter from Abbotsford.
